The type of waste you generate (whether hazardous or non-hazardous) directly impacts handling, transport and disposal requirements.

Improper hazardous waste disposal leads to groundwater and soil contamination that negatively affects people and animals coming into contact it. Such exposure can cause serious illness, disease, and potentially death. To prevent negative impact on humans and the environment, regulations are instituted with safety in mind, and a large part of that safety component is the use of waste codes.
If you’re inadvertently committing hazardous waste violations, it can mean big trouble for you and your business. Whether you know you’re violating the rules or not, you are equally liable to face up to the financial and legal penalties, so make sure to avoid the following six violations.
RCRA regulations are a complex area within hazardous waste management, so it’s vitally important you’re working with a waste management company that has a thorough understanding of the intricacies of those laws.

One such lesser-known category is RCRA metals.
